• However, the deoxygenated blood from the body enters the right atrium through the vena cava, and then passes into the right ventricle, which pumps it through the pulmonary artery to the lungs.

* Hardening of the arteries. Pressure in the arteries can increase the thickness of the muscles that line the artery walls. This thickening of artery narrowing. If blood clots block blood flow to the heart or brain, can cause a heart attack or stroke.

The numbers expressed in blood pressure are the values of systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart beats to pump blood. Diastolic pressure is the pressure that occurs when the heart rests between beats and the next.

Usually, the blood pressure numbers are written with the systolic pressure above or before the diastolic, for example, 120/80 mmHg. (The abbreviation “mm Hg” means millimeters of mercury, which are the units that measure blood pressure.)
